Hi all, I have a basic question about scaling text with pango. I have a small fragment of text (less than 8 characters) and I must fit it into a particular square region of a GdkDrawable. I know the size of this area in pixels. I'd like to create a PangoLayout that makes the text as big as possible while still fitting in this area. What's the best way to do this? I see the font size of a pango context can be adjusted, but I don't know how to calculate the right font size from the bounding region for my string (short of trying a bunch of different font sizes). Some particulars: My font is fixed (but I am happy to adjust its size). The characters are allowed to flow over two lines (i.e., the word wrap mode is PANGO_WRAP_CHAR. Currently I am drawing the layout directly to a drawable with gdk_draw_layout. So, I'm not using Cairo at all now, but if there is something there that can help me I'd love to hear about it. Thanks for your help! --Chris _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
